Only 25 per cent of those surveyed had a less favourable view of the company. And 32 per cent of Americans said the ad made them more likely to buy Pepsi products, over the 20 per cent who were less likely.

The poll also shows that about a quarter of participants age 18 to 29 said they had a less favourable view of Pepsi after watching the ad and one out of five said it made them less inclined to purchase Pepsi products.

Only 17 per cent of people ages 18 to 29 gave the ad a “not favourable at all” ranking after watching it.

According to the survey, only 28 per cent of people said they saw Jenner in a much more favourable light after watching the ad. Only 16 per cent of men surveyed said the ad made them much more favourable to Jenner, while eight per cent of women polled said the same thing.

The ad attempted to tap into the burgeoning political activism that’s catching fire with American youth in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s election victory, but it seemed to have the opposite effect, based on some Twitter reactions after the release.

So we should just give Putin & Assad & Trump a can of Pepsi & everything will be fine?
